What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? rather not say
Hi forum,
I am a recent vet - cannot find a job so decided to go to a OWS "rally".
Cop comes by and says we need to move so I started moving away. Well, it was not fast enough for the cop (figured I would just trample people I guess). So he pulls out his taser and shoots...one lead hit me the other missed so no zap zap zap. He did this with my back facing him.
So, I turn around to talk to him and he's pulling out another taser (how many do they carry?). So I knock him down, he's out & bleeding. I leave.
Should I turn myself in? I don't think I did anything wrong but self defense ... I was complying with his order and he wanted to just use his gadget I think. Cops don't have the right to just taser people for no good reason. He just tried to on a guy who has better hand to hand combat skills than he has with the expected result.
I don't think it would matter if I turned myself in or not as far as any criminal charges--it was self-defense plain and simple. Is this correct?
